Is there a correlation between lack of public housing and rising crime rates in communities?

Harriet Shipp

Yes, there can be a connection between not having enough public housing and more crimes happening in a community.

Public housing means homes that are owned by the government and are meant for people who can't afford to buy or rent a place to live. When there are not enough of these homes available, people may have to live in really bad conditions or even become homeless. This can make them feel really frustrated and angry.

When people are frustrated and angry, they may do things they normally wouldn't do, like steal or hurt someone else. This can lead to more crimes happening in that community.

So, when a community doesn't have enough public housing, it can make it harder for people to have a stable home and life. This can lead to more crime happening in that community. It's important for us to make sure everyone has a safe and affordable place to live so that we can all feel happy and safe.
